Collecting Shakespeare First Folios. "His name was Henry Folger and he was a successful businessman who worked his way to the top of Standard Oil. Folger managed to buy 82 first folios out of only a couple hundred that survived from the original 1623 printing."

Third-person skiing. Or, you are the video game. Highly not recommended (although if you like poorly produced videos of idiots doing things that will possibly get them killed because they don't understand how the real world works, by all means, enjoy). The world isn't a video game. Theres plenty of data you can get from your own senses, that are very important to successful navigation in the real world, that you won't see this way. Also, video games are designed, everything is purposeful. The real world isn't. That that tree stump you're about to plow into that your own body is masking. (Grokked from Dan)

Here is a classic example on how racists don't understand their own racism. It isn't about the words you used, former Principal Gordeuk, it was what you were implying. It was your judgement, because that's where prejudice lays. Sometimes is can be the words, when they're pejoratives. However, in this case, it was your perception that "of course the Black people would want to leave and not listen to a speech." That's the racist part.

When it comes to the "In Retrospect About the Iraq War" question, John "the 'Stash" Bolton is the fifth dentist. Of course he is. He was advocating for war even before GW Bush was elected president as a Chairman of the Project the New American Century. So he's been an asshole for a long time, if he steps back from that position, his SuperPac would lose all it's meager funding. And John just isn't getting paid all that much for his speaking fees, or appearing on Fox, so he has to make money somewhere.

About Me

I am a writer of Fantasy, Horror, and Science Fiction. Here you can find some of my thoughts about writing, politics, society, dreams, and anything that comes into my head. Sometimes I drop a Story Bone or two. And then there is the tweeting.

The opinions expressed on this blog are my own and should not be considered the opinions of my employers or clients.

Anything put in a post with the title "Story Bone" is up for grabs. If it sets off a story bomb in your head, go for it. I don't claim any right except to maybe write my own story based on the bone. I haven't researched the bones to make sure I'm not trodding on somebody else's toes so use at your own risk. Think of these as free ideas.

The Company of Ravens - First Chapter This is the story that nearly killed me and forced me to start writing down these things in my head. It's still a draft. After innumeral edits this is still at the point I realized I needed more skills to tell the story, and also the point where I realized I could do this.
